Hi,
Corn develops at pressure points.
You can get improvement by shifting the pressure to some other point. This can be done by getting the shoes modified or changing your walking or sitting style.
Sometimes it develops due to ill-fitting footwear. So keep it in mind.
You may get relief by wearing soft and padded footwear.
Your doctor can remove the corn layer by layer by using a surgical blade. So explore this option by discussing with him/her.

Hi, it seems like you had developed corn that got secondarily infected. The treatment is to treat the infection first with antibiotics and analgesics and once the infection subsides, to get the corn pared, enucleated or excised. Corn develops at the area of friction, do not wear ill fitted obstructive foot wear. Consult your dermatologist to get it removed. Take care
